New Guidance for Improving and Evaluating Rapid Re-Housing Practice

Tuesday, March 01, 2016

The National Alliance to End Homelessness has released a new resource, the Rapid Re-Housing Performance Benchmarks and Program Standards. Released at the recent National Conference on Ending Family and Youth Homelessness, this resource is designed to help service providers, state leaders, funders, and Continuums of Care to improve and assess their rapid re-housing programs.

The guidance includes (1) details on performance benchmarks that would qualify a program as effective; (2) accompanying qualitative program standards for each of the core components of rapid re-housing; and (3) program philosophy and design standards that provide more guidance on the broader role a rapid re-housing program should play in ending homelessness.
